"My youngest boy, 3 year
old. was sick with fever
last June, and when he got
better the doctor prescribed
Scott's Emulsion, and he
liked it so well that he drank
it out of the bottle, and is
now just as plump and strong
as any child of his age any
where . . . two bottles fixed
him OK." MR. JOHN F.
TEDDER, Box 263, Teague
Freestone Co., Texas.
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is the greatest help for babies
and young children there is.
It iust fits their need; it just
suits tneir aencaic, scumuvc
natures; they thrive on it. Just
a little does them so much
good and saves you so much
worry. You owe it to them
and yourself to make them as
strong and healthy as possible.
Scott's Emulsion will help
you better than anything else;
but be sure to get Scott's.
It's the best, and there are so
many worthless imitations.

NEWS FROM THE
L
HOUSE WON'T ALLOW TARIFF
TO BE RAILROADED.
PROBE CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
Two Bills Introduced in House to
Make Ex-Presidents United
States Senators.
Washington, D. C. No tariff bill
will pass the house of representa
tives at the special session until it
has been fully considered. Members
of the house are very generally de
termined that the bill, as reported
by the ways and means committee,
shall not be "railroaded" through
without opportunity for both debate
and amendment. If the Republican
leaders undertake to throttle the
house, cut off debate and deny the
house the right to amend the com
mittee bill, there will be a riot on
the floor and the line-up In the
house at this time is not such as to
Justify the leaders in Inviting a con
troversy of this character.
Members are demanding two
things of the leaders a right to con
elder and debate the committee bill,
and to demand explanation of all
schedules, and the right to offer
amendments to be passed upon by
the houss If these demands are not
met, there will be a revolt and the
revolutionists will not be confined to
the Insurgent band.
Campaign contributions and ex
penditures during the campaigns of
1896 and 1904 will be investigated
by a congressional commltteeto be
known as the special committee of
the sixty-first congress, for the inves
tigation of campaign funds and ex
penditures In national elections, and
to consist of five representatives and
10 senators, should the Joint resolu
tion introduced by Representative
Welsse (Wis.) be adopted.
It will be the duty of the proposed
committee to investigate the amount
of funds collected and expended,
from whom received and to whom
paid, and for what purpose paid and
expended. The committee Is also to
determine the Influences which
prompted the contributions and the
use of them.
Once a President always a govern
ment employe, if either of two bills
Introduced In the house becomes a
law. One offered by Coudrey (Mo.),
makes ex-PresldentB honorary mem
berg of the United States senate for
life and as such gives them a salary
of $25,000 per annum. The other,
by Bennett, (N. Y.), provides that
ex-Presidents of the United States
shall have a seat In the house of
representatives with the right of de
bating but not voting. Under this
bill they would receive the same
compensation as members.
The campaign to procure legisla
tion against (peculation in cotton,
grain and other agricultural prod
ucts will be carried on in the pres
ent congress with even more vigor
than in the COth congress.

NATION'S
CAPITA
GREATEST! m
Count Leo Tolstoy's Estimate of
Abraham Lincoln.
BIGGER THAN HIS COUNTRY,
Greater Than All the Presidents To
gether, a Chrict In Miniature, Says
Famous Russian Wonderful Rever
ence Even Among Barbarians,
Visiting Count Leo Tolstoy In Yas
naya with the Intention of getting him
to write an article on Abraham Lin
coln, I unfortunately found him not well
enough to yield to my request. How
ever, he was willing to give me his
opinion of the great American states
man, and this Is what he told me:
"Of all the great national heroes and
statesmen of history Lincoln Is the
only real giant. Alexander, Frederick
the Great. Caesar. Napoleon, Glad
stone and even Washington stand In
greatness of character, in depth of
feeling and In a certain moral power
far behind Lincoln. Lincoln was a
man of whom a nation has a right to
be proud. He was a Christ In minia
ture, n saint of humanity, whose name
will live thousands of years In the
legends of future generations. We are
still too near to his greatness and so
can hardly appreciate bis divine pow
er, but after a few centuries more our
posterity will find him considerably
bigger than we do. His genius is still
too strong and too powerful for the
common understanding, just as the
sun Is too hot when Its light beams
directly on us.
"If one would know the greatness of
Lincoln one should listen to the stories
which are told about him In other
parts of the world. I have been in
wild places where one hears the name
of America uttered with such mystery
as if It were some heaven or hell. 1
have heard various tribes of barba
rlans discussing the new world, but I
heard this only in connection with the
name of Lincoln. Lincoln ns the won
derful hero of America is known by
the most primitive nations of Asia.
This may be illustrated through the
following incident:
"Once while traveling In the Caucasus
I happened to be the guest of a Cauca
sian chief of the Circassians, who living
far away from civilized life In the -Mountains,
had but a fragmentary and child
ish comprehension of tV,r v.uiiil mid Its
history. The flngern of civilization had
never reached him uor l.'a tribe, and all
life beyond his nr live valleys wis a dark
mystery. Being u Mussulman, he was
naturally opposed to all ;jcis of progress
and education.
"I was received v'.'.U the tibial oriental
hospitality and al er our f.ieal wau asked
by my host to tell Mm romethtng of my
life. Yielding to his "juest, I befran to
tell him of my jru-iuii. r fie develop
ment of our Industries -nd Inventions and
of the schools. He listened to everything
with indifference, but when I began to
tell about the great statesmen and the
great generals of the world he seemed at
once to become very much Interested.
" 'Walt a moment,' he Interrupted after
I had talked a few minutes. 'I want all
my neighbors and my sons to listen to
you. I will call them Immediately.'
"He soon returned with a score of wild
looking riderB and asked me politely to
oontlnue. It was Indeed a solemn mo
ment when those boiis of the wilderness
sat around me on the floor and gazed at
me as If hungering for knowledge. I
spoke at first of our czars and of their
victories; then I spoke of the foreign
rulors and of some of the greatest mili
tary leaders. My talk Beemed to Impress
them deeply. The story of Napoleon was
bo Interesting to them that 1 had to tell
them every detail as, for Instance, how
his hands looked, how tall he was, who
made his guns and pistols and the color
of his horse. It was very difficult to sat
isfy them and to meet their point of view,
but I did my best. When I declared that
I had finished my talk my host, a gray
bearded, tall rider, rose, lifted his hand
and said very gravely:
" 'But you have not told us a syllable
about the greatest general and greatest
ruler of the world. We want to know
something about him. He was a hero.
He spoke with a voice of thunder. He
laughed like the sunrise, and his deeds
were strong as the rock and as sweet as
the fragrance of roses. The artgels ap
peared to his mother and predicted that
the son whom she would conceive would
become the greatest the stars had ever
seen. He was so great that he even for
gave the crimes of his greatest enemies
and shook brotherly hands with those
who had plotted against his life. His
name was Lincoln, and the country In
which he lived Is called America, which
Is so far away tlmt If a youth should
Journey to reach It he would be an old
man when he arrived. Tell us of that
man.' 'Tell us, please, and we will present
you with the best horBe of our stockl'
shouted the others.
"I looked at them and saw their faces
all aglow, while their eyes were burning.
I saw that those rude barbarians were
really Interested In a man whose name
and deeds had already bocoine a legend.
I told thein of Lincoln and his wisdom, of
his home life and youth. They asked me
ten questions to one which I was able to
answer. They wanted to know all about
his habits, his Ititluenon upon the people
and his physical strength. But tliay were
very astonished to hear that Lincoln
mnde a sorry figure on a horse and that
he lived such a simple life.
" 'Tell us why he was killed,' one of
them said.
"1 had to tell everything. After all my
knowledge of Lincoln was exhausted thoy
seemed to bo satisfied. I can hardly for
get the great enthusiasm which they ex
pressed In their wild thanks and the de
sire to get a picture of the great Amer
ican hero. 1 suld that I probably could
secure one from my friend In the nearest
town, and this seemed to give them great
pleasure.
"The next morning when 1 left the chief
a wonderful Arabian horse was brought
me as a present for my marvelous story,
and our farewell was very Impressive.
One of the riders agreed to accompany
me to the town and get the promised pic
ture, which 1 was now bound to secure
at any price. I was successful In getting
a large photograph from mv friend, and 1
handed It to the man with my greetings
to his associates. It was interesting to
witness the gravity of his face ami the
trembling of his hands when lie received
my piesent. Hn gazed for several mln
utes silently, like one In a reverent pray
er. His eyes filled wtth tears. He was
deeply touched, and 1 asked lilm why he
became so sad. After pomleriris my ques
tion for a few moments he replied:
" 'I am sad because I feel sorry that
he had to die by the hand of a villain.
Don't you find, Judging; from his picture,
that his eyes are full of tears and that
his lips are snd with a secret sorrow?'

"Like all orientals, he spoil' in a poefc
lea! way ar.a left me with many deep
bows. .
"This little Incident proves how largely
the name of Lincoln Is worshiped through
out the world and how legendary his per
lonallty has become.
"Xow, why was Lincoln so great
that be overshadows all other nation
al heroes? He really was not a great
general, like Napoleon or Washington.
He was not such a skillful statesman
as Gladstone or Frederick the Great.
But his supremacy expresses Itself al
together in his peculiar moral power
and in the greatuess of his character.
He had come through, ninny hardships
and much experience to I lie realiza
tion that the greatest liuimin achieve
ment Is love. He was whnt Beethoven

philosophy of Hfe. He aspired to be
divine, and he was.
"It is natural that before lie reached
his goal he bad to walk the hhihwny
of mistakes. But we find him never
theless in every tendency true to one
main" motive, and thnt was to benefit
mankind. He was one who wanted to
be great through his snwllness. if lie
had failed to become president he
would be, no doubt. Just as great as
he Is now, but only God could appre
ciate It. The Judgment of the world
is usually wrong in the beginning, and
It takes centuries to correct It " But
In the case of Lincoln the world was
right from the start. Sooner or later
Lincoln would have been seen to be a
great man, even though he had never
been an American president. But it
would have taken a great generation
to place him where he belongs.
"Lincoln died prematurely by the
band of an assassin, and naturally we
condemn the criminal from our view
point of Justice. But the question is,
Was his death not predestined by a
divine wisdom, and was It not better
for the nation and for bis greatness
that be died Just In that way and at
that particular moment? We know so
little about that divine law which we
call fate that no one can answer.
Christ had a presentiment of his
death, and there are Indications that
also Lincoln had strange dreams and
presentiments of something tragic. If
that was really the fact, can we con
ceive that human will could have pre
vented the outcome of the universal or
divine will? I doubt It. I doubt also
that Lincoln could have done more to
prove his greatness than be did. I am
convinced that we are but Instruments
In the bands of an unknown power
and that we have to follow Its bidding
to the end. We have a certain ap
parent independence, according to our
moral character, wherein we may ben
efit our fellows, but In all eternal
and universal questions we follow
blindly a divine predestination. Ac
cording to that eternal law, the great
est of national heroes had to die, but
an Immortal glory still shines on his
deeds.
"However, the biggest heroism is
that which Is based on humanity,
truth, Justice and pity. All other forms
are doomed to forgetfulness. The
greatness of Aristotle or Kant Is In
significant compared with the great
ness of Buddha, Moses and Christ
The greatness of Napoleon, Caesar or
Washington Is only moonlight by the
sun of Lincoln. His example Is uni
versal and will last thousands of
years. Washington was a typical
American, Napoleon was a typical
Frenchman, but Lincoln was a human
itarian as broad as the world. He was
bigger than bis country, bigger than
all the presidents together. Why? Be
cause he loved his enemies as himself
and because he was a universal indi
vidualist who wanted to Bee himself in
the world, not the world in himself.
He was great through his simplicity
and was noble through his charity.
"Lincoln Is a strong type of those
who make for truth and Justice, for
brotherhood and freedom. Love is the
foundation of his life. That Is what
makes him Immortal, and that is the
quality of a giuut. I hope that his cen
tenary birthday will create an Impulse
toward righteousness among the na
tions. Lincoln lived and died a hero,
and as a great character he will live
as long as the world lives. May his
life long bless humanity." -Count S.
Btnkelberg in New York World.

A millionaire, hoping to encourage
his young sou lu ways of thrift, prom
Ised to give him 2 per cent u mouth in
terest upon any money that lie might
save out of his allowance and deposit
iu the pateruul treasury. The young
man was getting 5 a week for pocket
money and promised to show bis ap
preclation of bis father's affectionate
offer. He began to make deposits
without delay and kept the practice up
with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently
that the deposits exceeded the whole
of the boy's allowance, but accounted
for this by supposing that he had
saved some money previously. Besides
this, he received money frequently
from his mother. So the fond parent
rejoiced in the saving disposition that
his son was displaying.
This continued until the boy's de
posits assumed such dimensions as to
demand an explanation. It theu turned
out that most of the money he had
been depositing had been borrowed,
Inasmuch as he was drawing Interest
ou his deposits at 2 per cent per mouth
aud was paying only 10 per cent per
year for them he had found the busi
ness decidedly attractive and profitable.
